Abstract

Cacoplistes (Laminogryllus) spp. from Guangxi were compared by morphology and molecular studies. Morphology results showed that differences of genitalia were caused by movable epiphallus. Molecular result showed that only 0.3% substitution sites of COI gene were detected. Thus, C. (L.) brevisparamerus syn. is the junior synonym of C. (L.) choui.
